“Paige is extremely reliable and she consistently offers excellent care to our beloved pets... Our pets love to be around her and because of this, we can be away from home without worrying about them for a few days... Thankful to have met her through this service...”
About: I have owned dogs and cats since 1985 and was on a K9 Search and Rescue team for 18+ years so I have worked with all types of dogs and have a lot of experience with training. I currently work outside the home M-F 9-5 but can work from home upon request. Weekends I am home the majority of the time and spend most of my time hanging out with my own dogs (two labs) I have hosted a variety of dogs in my home including corgis, labs, goldens, frenchies, pitties, mals, and other assorted breeds. I treat everyone's pets just like my own - lots of treats, snuggles, couch naps, and of course sleeping on the bed if they want. Both of my labs are extremely friendly and love pretty much all dogs, but I do have experience sitting some dogs who preferred to be separate from my boys via either baby gates or kennels (depending on what the dog is comfortable with). I have a large fenced in backyard and a smaller fenced in front yard. The backyard has a doggie door that allows the dogs to go in and out at will, although when I am not home, I do not give any dogs access to the yard (even my own dogs as a safety issue).
“Serenity took excellent care of our baby Buster. Her communication with us was great before and after her stay. I would recommend her for any of your pet or house sitting needs.”
About: I have extensive experience with animals of all sorts. I grew up with English mastiff dogs, then became a husky lover later on in life. I've owned sheep, goats, cows, horses, chickens, dogs, cats and much more. I grew up on a mini farm and we always had different animals who were raised with lots of love and care. I'm looking to replace one of my part time jobs with taking care of your awesome pets! I will only accept clients if I have the time to give your pets the best care. I am great at following your most detailed instructions for your home. At this time I cannot care for pets in my home because I am not set up for that but will be in the future.
“Sia was absolutely brilliant. She was quick to answer for a very last minute need. She followed the notes we left and pointers on each pup and updated us regularly with photos. It is SO nice to come home to happy non-stressed pups. She also was great in our home and respectful to the space. I cannot recommend her enough and we have already talked about re-booking for future plans we have.”
About: I've been a pet owner since 1990. Would love to help out fun dogs in need of attention. Recently relocated back to my hometown and can't have a pet of my own currently. Someday, again... I've just relocated back to Ellwood City and look forward to opportunities to network with new clients and their pets. I've been inactive for the last few years because of work responsibilities, but I'm really flexible right now until I find permanent work again in the area. I cannot bring pets to my home though. I will follow your instructions to the T. I can't offer in home services where I live, but will do as instructed so that your pet enjoys my visit. Just let me know any do's and don'ts and I can take it from there.
“Cassidy was awesome. Great communication, punctual, and super friendly. She loved on Rocco from the start of meeting him which he so enjoyed. She was respectful of our kitties and sent picture update during the session, much appreciated. We would definitely recommend her.”
About: I enjoy taking care of all animals and won't turn one away if I can help. I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years, a senior dog for 6+ years, administrating medicine, cleaning up messes, assisting getting around the house; cats for 10 years, ferrets, old and senior, for 12 years, and chinchillas for about 8 years. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I follow instructions, I'm never late, and will go the extra mile to ensure your pet is getting the best service I can provide. Caring for or tending to your pet would have priority over anything else, and will be taken as seriously as I would as "normal job". I feed, bath, prepare and administer medication, clean up messes, litter boxes, and puppy pads; also know how to ensure your home is safe for your animals, like moving thing to higher places, block/gate off dangerous areas, restricting them to safe/play zones (if needed) within the house, have a variety of toys for them to keep entertained and play with them myself.
“There would need to be 10 stars to rate Melli high enough for what she provides! We had a unique situation, and she helped us with groceries, errands, and caring for our sweet girl. She was an extension of our family!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life plus have dog sat for neighbors and so quite a few friends. I have taken the dogs on walks, played with them inside and outside, fed them, and given them so much lovens! I have watched a variety of dogs from small to big! I just absolutely love all dogs and want to take the best care of yours! I’m currently working full time as a nanny monday-fridays 8AM-4:30PM. I would be available to walk or check in on your furry friends after I get off! I’d be able to also stay overnight if you're out of town and be with them in the morning and evenings! The weekends I am free any time! I wont be able to have any pets at my house as i’m currently living with my in laws. However, I would be able to stay or watch them at yours! I will take care of your sweet pets however you need me to!
“Madison is amazing! She’s watched our dog and house twice now, both times on short notice, and has been wonderful. She’s reliable, responsive, and takes such great care of our pup. We always feel totally comfortable leaving everything in her hands and will definitely book with her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and it went better than we could expect. Drew was attentive and provided as many updates and photos that I could want. I recommend her and i will most definitely be contacting her again.”
About: I have taken care of different dogs through the day and overnight. I enjoy meeting new dogs and learning their personalities. I also have two dogs of my own that I love to take on walks, play outside, and go on little trips with!! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, daytime care, and overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have two friendly dogs and I make sure all pets in my care have plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and a safe environment. I am happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and crate training if needed. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.
About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.
“Vance did an amazing job dog and house sitting for us. He exceeded our expectations for sure! He took such great care of Bodza (our dog). He walked him, trained him, played with him and kept him on his schedule. He sent us frequent updates and pictures. On top of everything, the house was spotless when we got home. I highly recommend him!”
“Hilary was fantastic!!She took such great care of our dogs,1 male Labrador almost 2 years old and 1 female lab 9 months old. So you can see she had some energetic young dogs! Hilary spent time with them inside & out. She kept in contact with us, sent pictures. The house was clean, the dogs shampooed, I think the dogs were sorry to see her go! We would definitely get Hilary again!!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Altman
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 346 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Altman. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Altman walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Altman maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Altman choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Altman. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
